CORTECS Chemistry Offering

CORTECS Columns are available in both reversed-phase and HILIC options, giving you the flexibility and power to develop methods for challenging separations even faster. With different particle characteristics and innovative charged surface modifications, CORTECS Columns are suitable for use in a wide variety of applications.

Exceptional Peak Shape with C18+

CORTECS C18+ is a general purpose, reversed-phase column which features a positively charged surface modification for exceptional peak shape of basic compounds when analyzed using acidic, low-ionic strength mobile phases such as formic acid.

Faster Separations for Improved Throughput and Productivity

Improve your throughput with CORTECS Columns. CORTECS 2.7 µm Columns offer the unique advantage of operating at lower backpressure without an efficiency or resolution trade off. Achieve faster separations without sacrificing performance. When paired with an ultra- low dispersion system such as the ACQUITY UPLC I-Class System, CORTECS 1.6 µm Columns allow you to achieve previously unattainable levels of efficiency.

Setting the Standard for Reproducibility

Waters' cutting-edge manufacturing facilities are dedicated to producing columns that maximize laboratory performance. As a primary manufacturer of silica and hybrid particles we are able to continually monitor and control the manufacturing process over the lifetime of a product. Controlled manufacturing processes ensure you receive the best, most reliable column possible for consistent performance year after year. CORTECS Columns are created using state-of-the-art column packing techniques and bonding and end-capping processes that result in consistent, reproducible performance, and long column lifetimes.

Future Proof Your Laboratory

In the contemporary world of multi-national and multi-site laboratories whose LC technology may differ, Waters recognizes the need for versatility and ease of method transfer. CORTECS Columns offer particle sizes ideal for HPLC, UHPLC, and UPLC platforms, assuring a simple, seamless method transfer with consistent results across different particle sizes and column configurations.
